Advertising Poster Bilbao 1946 Bullfighting Corrida Roberto Domingo - Original vintage advertising poster created by the acclaimed Spanish artist Roberto Domingo (1883-1956) for the 1946 bullfighting season in Bilbao, Spain. The dramatic central artwork features a powerful, charging brown bull in the foreground, having already unseated one bullfighter who lies on the sand. A second matador in a resplendent yellow and blue traje de luces (suit of lights) is captured in a moment of intense action, working to distract the animal. In the background, the crowded stands of the arena and a picador on horseback are rendered with expressive, impressionistic brushstrokes that convey the heat and excitement of the event. The poster's design is dominated by the bold, red-lettered ”Bilbao” typography at the top, with the year 1946 set against a backdrop of festive floral motifs and a white banner. Condensed into a single graphic form, this piece served as a functional advertisement for the ”Corridas Generales”. Large size. Good condition, creasing, large repaired tears, pinholes. Country of issue: Spain, designer: Roberto Domingo, size (cm): 155x106, year of printing: 1946.
